The Cleveland Browns announced they traded quarterback Kevin Hogan to the Washington Redskins in exchange for the 188th pick in the 2018 NFL draft. The team also surrendered Pick No. 208 in the deal, the pick they received from New England in exchange for defensive back Jason McCourty. So, the Browns traded Hogan to move up 20 spots in the sixth round, which is better than getting nothing by outright releasing him.
As with DeShone Kizer and Cody Kessler, the writing was on the wall for Hogan after the team acquired quarterback Tyrod Taylor from Buffalo. The team is also presumably targeting a quarterback with the top pick in April’s draft, so this was no surprise, especially considering that his agent recently requested that he be traded.
